Service Call; Customer had LIVE Utility Wires Exposed! Tips how to fix a Strained Meter Socket⚡️
What happens here
The video begins by highlighting a dangerous electrical issue: exposed wires within a home's meter socket due to the PVC conduit sinking into the ground. A customer called an electrician because their meter socket was 'strained.' The exposed wires present a significant hazard. The electrician explains that this issue commonly occurs over time due to ground settlement, weather, and ice, which can cause the conduit to sink and pull the electrical wires downwards, exposing them at the meter socket connection point.
Goal: Identify and understand the electrical hazard caused by a sinking meter conduit.
